Would you like to create a warm, comfortable, and inviting room? A casual style room has a few elements that will coordinate well with futon covers to make your room homey and beautiful. To begin with in a casual room, keep the details simple and the elements rectangular or softly curved. If you like futon covers, make sure you have the fabric in textured, low-luster surfaces and add soft upholstery with horizontal lines. Try to stay away from perfect symmetry. A touch of whimsey is a great way to start when it comes to decorating a casual style room. Consider the following items for inclusion in the room. Try using a wooden candlestick for a lamp base, an older reconstructed birdhouse with stacks of old luggage for a side table, and for the coffee table, how about a low, vintage ironing board! You'll be amazed at how you can incorporate casual decorating when it comes to cottage, American country, Shabby Chic, French Country, or a rustic theme. You can incorporate these elements into a country kitchen, guest room, bath or just about any room in the home where a relaxed atmosphere is desired. If you have a futon mattress in a room, dress it up with some imaginative, textured futon covers. Upholstered pieces of furniture are usually oversized and slip covered. You can cover upholstered furniture in neutral tones such as beige, gray, tan or off-white, but you can use other colors also. Try using pastels together for a peaceful feeling or even try some dark tones such as olive, rust, navy, forest green, wine or even a touch of cranberry for a punch. Pillows are usually textured rather than shiny and there are many fantastic types of materials on the market. You can incorporate natural fibers like linen, wool, and cotton into futon covers. If you want to give it a more natural look, there are numerous synthetic materials available that can add durability, too. Either way you look at it, have fun decorating your casual room! |
